Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box Chocolate cake mix (or equivalent homemade chocolate cake batter)
Fillings & Toppings
- 1 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (for dairy-free option, use coconut whipped cream)
- 1 cup Toffee bits (can substitute with any crunchy candy or nut brittle)
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease two cake pans and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
- Mix Batter: Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the package instructions until smooth and lump-free.
- Pour & Bake: Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove cakes from the oven and let them cool completely in their pans. Once cool, transfer the cakes onto wire racks to finish cooling.
- Assembly – First Layer: Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce and sprinkle evenly with toffee bits.
- Add Whipped Cream: Spread a layer of whipped cream over the caramel and toffee bits, creating a creamy contrast.
- Second Layer: Place the second cake layer on top of the whipped cream and repeat the process: drizzle caramel, sprinkle toffee, and add whipped cream as desired.
- Final Touches: Finish by topping the assembled cake with a dollop of whipped cream, additional caramel drizzles, and a sprinkle of toffee bits for an appealing crunch and decorative touch.
Notes
- You can substitute the toffee bits with chopped nuts or crunchy candy for texture variation.
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut-based whipped cream and verify that the caramel sauce is vegan friendly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before assembling to prevent the caramel or whipped cream from melting.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
